5:03 am
larlielou
i no ,family in mel
5:04 am
Angb
Nice place. Mel. Been there a couple of times, and Sydney - usually avoid that place. When to Gold Coast last year. NZers holiday there as it's cheaper than holidays in NZ!
5:06 am
larlielou
i will be in oz for new year love sydney harbour
5:07 am
Angb
The harbour is the best place in Sydney. And the Rocks. Hmmm Sydney's not so bad LOL. A cruise on the harbour is well worth while.
5:09 am
larlielou
what ,s the gold coast like never beenthere
5:10 am
lynxxx
awful - too commercial - go up further north - Cairns etc.
5:11 am
lynxxx
PS I'm from Melbourne
5:12 am
larlielou
been in bayswater for new year
5:13 am
lynxxx
Bayswater nr Melbourne? Most of my family is up that way - I'm the only one who moved in closer to the city/Melboure.
5:14 am
Angb
Gold Coast was commercial - but I have 5 yr and 8 yr old sons! Sunshine Coast was beautiful (and home of Australia Zoo)!
5:15 am
lynxxx
All those theme parks - I understand!
5:17 am
Angb
lynxxx I think Melbourne is the place to visit in Aus. Love the place.
5:18 am
Atalante
even Cairns and Port Douglas are too commercial - go to Cooktown!
5:18 am
lynxxx
TY It is a lovely town - I notice NZers feel at home here so it is probably a lot like NZ to live in (I've only been to NZ once)
5:19 am
aleksia.
i love shopping in Melbourne!
5:19 am
larlielou
lots of family between rowvile and bays , i think i still will like to see gold coast.
5:19 am

Yes, it's much like here. Oh yes, and the shopping. And the restaurants.
5:20 am
aleksia.

Hey all you writing experts out there, I've got a question. I'm editing a text, and this sentence doesn't sound right to me: Our goal is to orchestrate the requirements for an outstanding golf course with the environment for a unique residential/resort community.
Orchestrate requirements with the environment? Can you orchestrate x with y? What about 'merge' instead?
9:25 am
erin76
that's odd, it only shows up id you click on my icon.
9:26 am
EvaNadine
thanks krys and charm!
9:26 am
Krys10
orchestrate sounds odd, there, i agree
9:27 am
Charm
amanda - how about 'harmonize' or a synonym?
9:27 am
torgone
harmonize?
9:27 am
72 Temple Owl
within not with but that is really convoluted
9:27 am
word
how about blend?
9:27 am
amandacath
ooooo thanks! I knew this was the right place to ask!
9:27 am
72 Temple Owl
needs rewriting not rewordking
9:28 am
Charm
Tor, meaning you want the two elements to coexist without clashing?
9:28 am
Krys10
amandacath: dictionary.com suggest arrange, blend, coordinate, harmonize, integrate, synthesize, unify as synonyms for orchestrate, but I think it needs at least a comma in there somewhere
9:28 am
Krys10
needs a breath
9:28 am
72 Temple Owl
amanda: in plain english what are they trying to do/say?
9:28 am
sydnie
amandacath what up you ok
9:29 am
Krys10
i just realized i misread it the first time - i thought the "with the environment" belonged to the golf course
9:30 am
Krys10
how about "balance"? Our goal is to balance the requirements for a golf course with the needs of the surrounding environement" or something
9:30 am
torgone
That seems to be the intent, charm ..
9:30 am
Charm
ah, very nice, Krys
9:30 am
FMitch
I like word's suggestion of blend or Krys's balance
9:31 am
Charm
Yes, Tor, that seems to be the intent. They're just having trouble expressing it. Too many words, I think!
9:31 am
Krys10
now if only I could spell!
9:31 am
sydnie
who has had fireworks any one
9:31 am
ch1212
Sometimes when I'm stuck on a paragraph I will ask for input and almost immediately see where I was going wrong, Krys... I like "balance" much better, because that keeps it between the golf course and the environment. Now you just have to weave the (apparent?) residential community that's planned too. As it reads, the focus is on the golf course and the environment.
9:31 am
amandacath
TO - I'm not exactly sure, to be honest. I think it means: when designing the course/community they use the environment that is already there instead of bulldozing everything away and starting from scratch.
9:32 am
Krys10
studying for SATs as an adult turns out to be helpful :)
9:32 am
sydnie
amandacath what up ya ok
9:32 am
Krys10
if you wanted to get fancy, you could say something about working in symbiosis with the environment when designing a golf course
9:33 am
ch1212
That's good too, Krys... say don't forget the Perrine Bridge on your travels -- you will cross it as you enter Twin Falls, Idaho, and it's the number one bridge for BASE jumping. World record set here recently.
9:34 am
ch1212
Oh, and the other claim to fame is that nearby the Perrine Bridge is where Evil Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon on his motorcycle.
9:34 am
EvaNadine
hows about something more like this:
"Our goal is to balance the requirements of an outstanding golf course with the need to sustain the environment; such a blend will result in a unique residential/resort community."
9:35 am
Krys10
wow, that's a beautiful bridge! The trip was put termporarily on hold because my cat got sick, so I cam include Twin Falls when I redesign. My husband just got assigned a new sales region that includes Idaho, so I'll have more opportunity. Thanks ch1212!

11:04 am
hurshy
star WARS is a LONG TIME AGO in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY. star TREK is in the FUTURE in OUR galaxy. not to mention that in star wars you have a tiny rebel band against a huge evil empire, very different from the cold war feeling of original trek.
11:04 am
stidmama
In my extremely humble opinion, a greenhouse IS a church! :-)
11:04 am
featherbee

1:35 pm
Anniebrook
*dusts off Inge as best as I can* yes, it was Sunday but it was ongoing. it had to do with a grid word that could be pluraled and how her/his students pronounced it.
1:36 pm

My poor dughter has just returned from a Guide Camp .After 2 weeks of sun it has poured down here.! It's a pity we can't do something about evening out world temeratures more drastically. I'd share!

5:36 pm
helenkeller
the one today is a killer, other than that, i'm not sure what you mean
5:37 pm
chj
the killer sudoku doesnt give you any numbers..they have dotted lines connecting two or more squares and tell you what the total is for those squares and these can over lap the 9 squares fo a section
5:38 pm
chj
they have them in the london times which you can find on the internet
5:40 pm

I'm back again. (DH will never know I really didn't *do* much when I was off of the computer!) I did make supper though and he saw me putzing around the house! :D
6:22 pm
snowyowl
LOL Nef! I had a friend whose mother used to spray furniture polish into the air just as her husbands car drew up on the drive. He told everyone what an excellent housewife she was!
6:22 pm
Nef
Hmmmm. I still have to find 81 words yet. I was hoping that they would find themselves! ;)
6:22 pm
scv
im down to 41 but i don't think ill be finding anymore
6:23 pm
scv
a shame..this looked easy enough this morning when i started.
6:23 pm
helenkeller
sorry - had a phone call
6:23 pm
Nef
well scv; let's both try to find 10 words in the next 15-20 minutes, okay?
6:23 pm
scv
haha, thats very ambitious
6:24 pm
Nef
snowy, I'm not quite *that* devious ....yet! :)
6:24 pm
scv
well, for me it is. im having difficulty finding 1 or 2 in 15 minutes at this point
6:24 pm
Nef
scv, I know; I like to set my goals high! :)
6:25 pm
nrkii
hints for either of you?
6:25 pm
Nef
are you using lickety's list yet? I haven't opened it yet, but I'm about ready too
6:25 pm

6:25 pm
scv
i'm not sure i know the lingo to ask for hints so im just working things out here
6:26 pm
nrkii
scv, are you using lickety's help list?
6:26 pm
Nef
okay, down at the bottom of the page on the left is a list of friendly sites. Lickety has a site that gives the 1st 2 letters and then the numbers -lets' say sa 4/6
6:27 pm
Nef
the 4 is the number of letters and the 6 is the point count.
6:27 pm
scv
well i wanted to try without help, but a little while ago i realized it wasn't possible. so i just started to use it, nrkii
6:27 pm
nrkii
scv, it's just that the list is what makes it easier to ask for clues, if you need to
6:28 pm
Nef
Great! Now I'll start using it too
6:28 pm
stidmama

6:28 pm

hi all -- I am under the weather a bit. Going to try to finish the grid, not sure yet if I can do storytime.
6:28 pm

at some point in almost every grid, I find it gets too boring to work without the list because I keep typing the same bad words over and over and over again ( I bore myself)

8:42 pm
Jacula
pam - I guess it means they don't read books. Everyone is reading (literally) all the time; road signs, food labels, notices etc., etc. The women's magazines of today reflect that fact that people have neither the concentration or the time to read stories. Most women's mags have one '5-minute fiction' slot now (it used to a a 10-minute, coffee break read') and all the rest is made up of 'My dog ate my baby/my husband is an animal/my doctor nearly killed me type stories.

The Black Hodag had "the head of a bull, the grinning face of a giant man, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur, and a long tail with a spear at the end." It lived in the dense regions of nearby swamps, feasting mostly on mud turtles, water snakes, and muskrats, although it did partake in an occasional human.
9:48 pm

They smell rank.

Mr. Sheppard was also able to catch a female hodag after noticing that hodags only slept by leaning against trees. He simply cut down the tree, capturing the hodag. The two were successfully bred, and the result was thirteen eggs, all of which hatched. Sheppard taught these hodags a number of tricks, which he hoped to show for a profit.

hodag - Thanks for drawing my attention to this US version of the Yeti/Loch Ness Monster. It's fascinating.
9:54 pm
trza
Can anybody lend a hand with c7.32?
9:54 pm
Jacula
Ren - It should be noted that although the Rhinelander Daily News "advanced the theory that the hodag was a missing link between 'the ichthyosaurus and the mylodoan' of the ice age," some disbelievers proclaimed that the hodag was simply a large dog that had been covered with a horse hide and displayed in poor lighting. These people further claimed that the word hodag was a combination of the words "horse" and "dog." However, as any student of Latin knows, Bovinus spiritualis means drunken ox, which can certainly not be confused with any dog in a horse hide.

9:57 pm
Jacula
No idea, hodag. Not read enough yet to say. I do believe that when folk tales of various mysterious creatures persist so long as the Yeti and Loch Ness monster ones have done, and there are various versions over the world, that there may well be truth in such stories. I do know that the UK's big cats exist because I've seen one twice.

Slytherin is the house for students known as being 'resourceful...with a certain disregard for rules,' also 'shrewd' and 'cunning folk [who] use any means to achieve their ends.'
Hufflepuff is home to students who are 'hard workers,' also 'just and loyal,...patient...true, and unafraid of toil.'
Gryffindor welcomes those students known for their 'chivalry,' and who are willing to fight for what is 'right and good.'
Ravenclaw is the 'wise old' house, reserved for only the 'cleverest' students, those of 'ready mind...wit and learning.

11:07 pm
brandyjack
true, but at least caerwa** has enough info in the rest of the word to make sense of it. As for the wi6/30, why can't the germans call an aurochs an aurochs like the rest of us....
11:08 pm
Jacula
LOL, BJ. And we all even knew of the existence of the Aurochs before today? Of course we did!
11:08 pm
Jacula
European bison? Hmm.
11:08 pm
brandyjack
as a matter of fact I did. despite the fact they have been extinct for 300 years.....
11:09 pm

11:11 pm
Nef
I need the last 3 fi 4/7s please
11:11 pm
brandyjack
not sure why the breeders didn't try farming them as the did those stupid things roaming the fields these days. Of course, maybe the aurochs were smarter than the local farmers and noblemen, who knows....
11:11 pm

BJ - you should read my friend the Eginburgh Uni professor's books about Littlenose. His name is John Grant (my friend) and his books about the Neanderthal's and the new more upright men are hilarious.
11:13 pm

11:17 pm
leighprefect
You know Red Dwarf? =)
11:17 pm
brandyjack
well, my info wasn't too far off, it was Poland, but it was 1627. And apparently, our current cattle are the result of the domestication of the Aurochs.... Been a number of attempts to breed back to the original strain, but without success to date. Wiki is wunderful....
11:17 pm
Jacula
Sure is, BJ.
11:18 pm
brandyjack
more to the point, do you know anyone who would admit to knowing Red Dwarf....

hurshy I did not (I never watch TV) but here is a dump from Wikipedia and it is hilarious Colbert has frequently mentioned Wikipedia on his show, and in the July 31, 2006 "The WØRD" segment he coined the portmanteau of Wikipedia and reality, Wikiality. He checked Wikipedia to determine whether Oregon was California's Canada or Washington's Mexico before deciding to declare it Idaho's Portugal and pretending to change Wikipedia to make it so. He also instructed viewers to change the elephant article to say that the number of elephants has tripled in the last six months. He goes on to express his love for Wikipedia as it presents a philosophy similar to Colbert's own truthiness (that intuition is more true than fact) as "if enough people believe something" it becomes true.
